I have the following norm



Norm[a, b*c] // Sqrt[Abs[a]^2 + Abs[b c]^2]


How do I remove the Abs from it? 



FullSimplify[Norm[a, b*c], Assumptions -> a > 0, b > 0, c > 0]


only kills the first Abs



Sqrt[a^2 + Abs[b c]^2]

          • ComplexExpand automatically assumes all its variables to be real. Other than that, I believe it's just a matter of behind-the-scenes expression manipulation (i.e. I don't know...). Though this idea reminds me of this post talking about different ways of assuming things (granted in relation to Integrate).

          If you have to use FullSimplify or Simplify, you can use the option ComplexityFunction to make expressions with Abs more costly:



          FullSimplify[Norm[a, b*c], Assumptions -> a > 0, b > 0, c > 0, 
           ComplexityFunction -> (100 Count[#, _Abs, 0, Infinity] + LeafCount[#] &)]

                    One-line joke

                    A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala
